LG 2560x1080p Ultra-wide monitor help!

[iTzVortex]

I want to buy the LG 25UM56-P Ultrawide monitor but i'm not sure that if I plug the monitor into the HDMI port on the Asrock H170 Pro4 motherboard it will power the monitor. I am new to pc building and I am kind of a noob

If you have a GPU with HDMI port then no probs. I trust you have a decent PSU.?

As long as the CPU has iGPU (most Intel's do, I think mainly the XEON's do not).

I want to use the integrated graphics on my processor so I am not using a graphics card.

Why are you asking about the PSU?

The monitor plugs into wall power, and only gets data from the HDMI cable.

His choice of PSU in terms of wattage depends mainly on whether he has a graphics card which apparently he does not. Chances are his system won't even draw 200W though I'd get at least a 550W PSU to support a future video card.

I understood that.
An "iGPU" means it is "integrated" in this case into the CPU.

A dedicated graphics card is called a "dGPU".

The graphics will also share some of your system memory (DDR4) so change the amount allocated in your motherboard BIOS. If you don't do any light gaming then 512MB should be more than enough. Otherwise choose 1024MB (1GB).

Im just wondering if the motherboard supports the hdmi 2.0 (i think its hdmi 2.0) so my pc will run at 21:9 at 2560 x 1080

Yes and that is exactly why I put the question. There was no indication originally as to whether or not the OP had a dedicated GPU.

It was merely a question but thanks for your input anyway.

1) MeanMachine41,
I assumed that was the reason, but the original post said "power the monitor" so I wanted to be sure there was no confusion.

2) HDMI specifications are here:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H170%20Pro4/?cat=Specifications

"Supports HDMI with max. resolution up to 4K x 2K (4096x2160) @ 24Hz / (3840x2160) @ 30Hz"

While not specifically mentioning 2560x1080, you can calculate the bandwidth required. Since it supports 3840x2160 at 30Hz, that means it will support 2560x1080 because that has less than HALF the number of pixels.

(3840x2160)/(2560x1080) = 3

There are a THIRD of the number of pixels so it's fine. It probably supports up to 2560x1600@60Hz.

Update: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_1.4

The spec is HDMI v1.4 (not HDMI v2.0), and if you look at the chart it says that v1.3 supports up to 2560x1600@60Hz->
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_1.4

So again it's not an issue. The only thing I see added going from 1.3 to 1.4 related to 3D support.
